container
In everyday conversation, "container" is a general term for anything that holds something. If you are talking about food or small household items, people often specify the material, such as "plastic container" or "glass container." When used in the context of global trade and shipping, "container" almost always refers to the massive metal boxes (shipping containers) seen on large ships. In this specific professional context, it is rarely called a "box" but specifically a "container."

Put your leftovers in a container or they'll go bad.
Leo Smith
Chill. I'm literally mid-raid, just leave it be.

David is attempting to be a responsible parent, while Leo uses gamer slang ('mid-raid') and the idiom 'leave it be' (meaning to stop interfering) to dismiss his father's request.
